Will always be our first @rust4bio project, a special place.
Excited to introduce the preprint for CoverM: the Swiss Army knife of coverage calculators for metagenomics! 🧬🖥️ DOI: @wwood @NyboJakob @apcamargo_ @CMR_QUT

@jcamthrash for a thread. Thanks @jcamthrash
Excited to share “Bin Chicken”, substantially improving genome recovery through rational metagenomic assembly. Applied to public 🌍 metagenomes, it recovered 24,000 novel species 🦠, including 6 novel phyla. @wwood @rhysnewell @CMR_QUT 🧵1/6

A great way to get more MAGs out of your metagenomes without further sequencing cost. MAGs from coassemblies appear *better* quality, not more chimeric. Excellent work from @aroney_samuel here.

Happy to be involved in a community spirited effort on river microbiomes from by @jmikayla7 @kcwrighton out in Nature Gratifying to see SingleM / Sandpiper used to establish the biogeography of novel species in public metagenomes

A convenient nail for the SingleM hammer. See @R_Eisenhofer's 🧵Thanks also @anttonio @CMR_QUT and efficient reviewers/editor.

@daanspeth Very cool, thanks @daanspeth - I previously created a google form for recording MAG sets I notice aren't deposited in GenBank/ENA for whatever reason. Mostly been for internal use so far. A few there that are additional to yours
